The Louisiana Department of Insurance has shared some advice for property owners who are now beginning to file claims due to Hurricane Ida.
As power is restored, property owners are returning to their homes and businesses. Many will find themselves dealing with damage that will lead to an insurance claim. Understanding how to report the damage and file your claim can prove to be critical in your recovery efforts. It is an excellent time to get professional help from a public adjuster.
